【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: Can I help you?
M: Yes, my son and daughter bought this pen here for my wife"s birthday, but it doesn"t work. So I"d like to exchange it.
W: I see. Do you have the receipt with you?
M: Yes. Here it is.
W: OK. Let me see the pen please. Hmm, it doesn"t work at all, does it? Was it dropped or anything?
M: No, but you can see that the point is bent a little bit.
W: Yes, it is. We"ll be happy to exchange it for you. Let me see. I"m afraid we don"t have another purple one.
M: Now what will I do?
W: Would you like to choose a different color? We do have this pen in black and yellow.
M: My wife doesn"t care for either of those colors. Don"t you have any other colors?
W: We have it with a red leather cover. That"s three dollars more.
M: I don"t think so. The children worked hard to save up the eleven dollars for this one. They would probably be upset if I paid for part of their present.
W: If you want, we can order another pen just like this one. There wouldn"t be any extra charge for it.
M: That sounds like a good idea. Would you please go ahead and do that?
W: We"d be very happy to. It will take a week or ten days. We"ll call you when it comes in.
M: Thank you very much.
W: You are welcome.
